Important information about SuperSpeed USB 3.0
A SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface makes possible an extremely fast access to your
DataStation. In practice, a data transfer via USB 3.0 can be about four times faster than
via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. This means minimized waiting times for you and thus more time
for all tasks that are important to you.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface of your DataStation is fully backwards compatible to
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports on your computer. Therefore you can use your DataStation
for data transfers with computers that do not have a USB 3.0 port. You can also use
your DataStation with all devices that have a USB 2.0 port, e.g. media players or games
consoles. However, when transferring data to a device without a USB 3.0 port the
speed of the data transfer is limited to the data transfer rate of the older USB standards!
For the maximum benefit from the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, please read and
observe the following instructions and recommendations:
• Connect the USB 3.0 interface of your DataStation to a USB 3.0 port of your
computer. You can usually recognize USB 3.0 connectors by the blue color used
inside the ports and plugs. Please use only the supplied USB 3.0 cable!
• Please make sure that your operating system supports USB 3.0 and that the drivers
for the USB 3.0 interface of your computer have been installed correctly. If you
have any questions about the installation of the driver for the USB 3.0 interface,
please contact the manufacturer of your computer (or, if a USB 3.0 interface card
has been retrofitted in your computer, the manufacturer of the interface card) or
the manufacturer of your operating system.
It is not necessary to install any special drivers for your DataStation in able to use
i
it with a correctly installed USB 3.0 interface. The DataStation is supported by
the standard drivers that are set up during the correct installation of a USB 3.0
interface!
• If your computer or your notebook does not have a USB 3.0 interface, then in
many cases it is possible to upgrate it with a USB 3.0 interface for either the PCI
Express bus of a computer or the ExpressCard slot of a notebook. If you have
questions about the compatibility of a specific interface card with your computer
or notebook, then the manufacturers of the devices can help you.
• Thanks to the downward compatibility of USB 3.0, you can also connect your
DataStation to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port of your computer. However, in this
case you will not be able to benefit from the higher data transfer rates that
your DataStation is capable of delivering via USB 3.0. When connecting your
DataStation to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port please also use the supplied USB 3.0 cable!
